Our
points of view

Living and Traffic
The housing market is upside down and a solution must be found.
Plots that are suitable for housing should be classified efficiently. Our youth also seeks shelter in the rental or owner-occupied sector, not just students. To what extent a municipal council has influence over this, the municipality should encourage a fair flow of housing.
In addition, the traffic flow in the municipality of Vaals needs improvement in some places. Solutions must be sought for this and, of course, also implemented.
Management and Services
The municipality must actively think along with the citizens. For example, the town hall should extend its opening hours, so that every citizen has the opportunity to handle municipal affairs, even outside regular working hours. In addition, thinking along and assessing the needs of citizens contributes to better communication between the municipality and its residents. Short surveys would be one way to gauge citizens' needs.
In addition, we strive to review subsidies from events or organizations in which residents of the municipality have little or no interest.
Attention should be given to every village or hamlet within the municipality, pride in 10,000, attention to 10,000.
People and Facilities
Every citizen is responsible for his own healthy lifestyle. However, the municipality can offer tools for this, through financial support or by making public parks more accessible. Public parks can be improved using simple tools, such as stairs, wider walkways and security. These stairs can also be multi-purpose, for example by using them as a grandstand in an open-air theater.
We also encourage financial support to facilities or organisations, so that, for example, an association can rent a facility at a discount.
We want to encourage volunteering and participation in society, so that young and old are connected. We are also committed to tackling social issues. Think of unemployment, poverty, crime and debt problems.
Facilities for young people are missing in the municipality, due to severe cutbacks in youth care and restrictions on organizations, this population group has been completely forgotten in recent years. Vision Vaals wants to actively contribute to the adjustments and support needed to achieve this.
Work and Economy
We are committed to supporting entrepreneurs with initiatives and problems, to the extent that the Act and APV allow this. In addition, we want to stimulate entrepreneurship in Vaals, whereby the right approach and agreements can contribute to positive development for the village or area concerned. Think, for example, of surcharges, payment arrangement or temporary starters discount on the rent. Not only the starter in question benefits from this, but every entrepreneur, after all, an attractive village allows every turnover to grow.
